PATENT RIGHT SECURED.

Grover has patented the methods in
vented by Andy Johnson in his assinine
circle-swinging, to secure re-nomina-
ton. To prevent any action for infringe
ment of patent by Johnson's heirs, he
simply drops out the ordinary passenger
cars and will swing the circle in the most
gorgeously equipped train ever put up
on the rails. But, as veteran Demo-
crat remarks, substitutes his young and
pretty wife, less than half his age, for
the constitution and whisky bottle as
the drawing card to attract crowds at
the places where this, our Caeser deigns,
to exhibit his huge proportions under
Lamont's training. What has become
of the horney handed Caeser howlers of
a few years ago, and the man or thing in
human form that would put a young and
beautiful wife upon public exhibition
as the drawing card, even though the
travelling equipage and surrounding
may be in style of royal magnificence
never before witnessed in this land OF
republican simplicity, to secure u re-
nomination to any Office? To what depth
of degradation would he not subject her
to secure beyond doubt his election?
This ought to be the browning act OF
Growers presidential folly, but as he
has been going from bad to worse ever
since his Inauguration, there is no pre-
dieting what lower depth of folly or in
fanny he may vet descend. But this is
Grover, and shows beyond question his
highest estimate of woman's worth.

II is stated that politicians are looking
with a good deal of interest to the
speeches which President Cleveland
may make upon his western trip. We
have no idea that the public generally
is greatly exercised about what he will
say, but it is to be hoped that Mr.. Cleve-
land will not seek to hoodwink western
people with the chestnutty references
to his alleged civil service reform. 1t
does well enough for him to ring the
changes on that in the "etiete East, y
where the mugwump grows and is anx-
ious to be deceived. But the Western
ers have seen enough of the practical
workings of the reform" to know that 1t
is barefaced fraud and the President
will be wise if he confines his talk to
remarks about the weather, incidentally
referring to other things which may at
tract his eve as he travels through the
Wild West

Much sickness prevailed among the
men during the encampment. This, ac-
cOrding TO the surgeons report, is most
ly attributable to the Door water fur
nIshed the camp, and the excessive
heat. In my opinion, future encamp-
ments should be held either in the early
part of June or September-the latter is
preferable.
By comparison it will be seen that the
attendance was $40 larger than at last
years enCampment, which, considering
that this encampment continued ten
days, is very satisfactory showing. The
progress made by the troops in the sew
eral branches of instruction was highly
satisfactory, and the wisdom of a ten
days encampment was fully demonstra-
ted. In my opinion, much good would
be accomplished if at future encamp-
ments troops would be exercised In
short marches and in such field maneu-
vers as the nature of the country passed
over and the number of the troops en-
gagged will admit.
My recommendations, based upon OBJ
servations at past encampments, are that
the State purchase and fit up permanent
camp grounds; that each regiment be
supplied with complete camping outfit;
that the old two-click guns be replaced
by the more modern arm now in use by
part Of the State troops, and that a full
compliment of blanket bags and can
teens be issued to each company.
Col. Bobleter, in closing, extends APP
propriate thanks to the officers and men,
to Capt. Grossbeck and Col. Rodney, U.
S. A., who were present, and to Capt.
Washburn and Mr.. Barr, of Mankato,
for the cordial treatment received at the
hands of the citizens of Mankato.

MANKATo, Sept. 27.-An immense
crowd of people thronged the fair
grounds this forenoon. Additional ex-
hibits dept coming in, and the arrange.
ment in Floral Hall is fully completed
and now presents some remarkable ex-
hibits. F. l.. Smith, of Minneapolis,
added considerably to the vegetable
show to-day by bringing in some fine
specimens of Concord, Delaware and
Hartford grapes. M. J. Jordan entered
several horses of trotting strains. Every
body expresses great satisfaction at the
manner in which the fair is conducted
this year and all declare it the best held
here. Although still cloudy it has be-
come quite cold, and no more rain is
looked for. All premiums will be
awarded to-mo rrow.

Col. Bobleter, of the Second Regiment

his report as TO the annual encampment
of his regiment to Adjt-General Seeley.
He first gives an exhaustive review of
the encampment proceedings at Manka-

camp life. The report contains the fol-
lowing additional points:
A lively interest was manifested in ri
fie practice, but owing to the ROCKY for
nation of the range the eleven targets
could not be got in readiness until the
third dav of the encampment. Owing
to this delay, the extreme heat and the
distance of the range from the camps the
results were not satisfactory. The fol-
lowing table shows the average daily at
tendance of the regiment for the ten
days:

SHERIFF RICHTER, of Ramsey county,
discovered man roaming about the
basement of the Jail yesterday morning,
and as the fellow refused to halt the Of
ficer shot him. Unquestionably it would
have been better had the sheriff not
fired except as last resort, and yet it
appears to be one of those cases where
an officer Is justified in taking prompt
and summary steps. The man killed
was a negro, and some of his friends
have started the story that there is
some mystery about the shooting and
that it may have been intentional. A
full investigation is being made, but
there seems to be no ground whatever
for any conclusion that will affect the
honor of official conduct of the sheriff.

The parade at the st. Louis encamp-

rain. Although the elements spoiled to
some extent the grandness of the dem

their rubber coats singing the old war
songs and shouting themselves hoarse

passed, 1t was not reasonable to sup
pose that the veterans who endured
the hardships of four years war would
have their patriotism wiped out by a
light rain storm.

ly scenes. Brother Tuttle is doubtless
gallant old soldier and IL not far from
right in his views of our ponderous

make the cost to a Presidential party
